The Dust Bowl Cousins (1972)

Robert Donner: Yancy Tucker

Quotes 

• Yancy Tucker : [discussing the Walton's shiftless cousins]  Ain't that just like John and Livvy Walton, take in kin, house and feed 'em when times are like they are?

  Ike Godsey : Yeah.

  Yancy Tucker : I sure hope that business about breadin' cast upon the water's true.

  Ike Godsey : Yancy, there are times, sad to say, when "bread upon the waters" comes back good for nuthin' except a soggy sandwich.

• Cora Walton Denby : Look out Ham!

  [they barely miss collilding with Yancy Tucker's car and are forced to the side of the road] 

  Yancy Tucker : [continues driving]  You slug-bellied sod buster!

  Ham Denby : [exits car]  You slab-headed ridge runner! I tell you there ain't nothin' on God's green earth dumber than a back-country sorgum lapper!

  [goes to front of car and angrily cranks the engine] 

  Ham Denby : Set the spark, Cora! Set the spark!
